Pros With DataStories I can easily monitor the improvement of KPI and generate models in combination with other soft wares. Cons The DataStories doesn't support all format, data should be in the right format. It requires to go back to the dashboard to create different scenarios. Alternatives considered [Accern](https://www.capterra.com/p/215557/Accern/) Reasons for choosing DataStories Just to give it a try Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Manager Data & Analytics Information Technology and Services ### "Self-service predictive analytics with what-if simulations" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 14, 2020 Pros Datastories makes it really easy to go through the data science process, without needing to have data science knowledge. You get an overview of data health, correlations and relations in the dataset, and the key drivers of the predictive model. The number key drivers is always kept to a minimum, which helps you to focus on what is relevant. The predictive models themselves are mostly on par with what you would expect from an experienced data scientist. The Python SDK makes it fairly easy to integrate the results in existing systems. But what I actually like the most is the what-if simulations: you can adjust the drivers and see how this impacts the predicted KPI. You can also see visually how that change impacts the other drivers. Cons The software is best at the data science part, but lacks some data engineering features. Providing data to the system is limited to uploading files or working with the Python SDK. Data transformation possibilities are missing: data should be in the right format.

BP Bert P. Director Business Intelligence Hospitality ### "Impressed by DataStories" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 19, 2020 Detecting outliers / anomalies Predictive modelling: sense-check the human estimates versus machine learning models. Pros The tool is very easy & intuitive to use. Furthermore it gave me new insights which allowed me to further improve the models. This insight was also an 'eye-opener' for our business. The tool can be used to create, fine-tune and implement machine learning models, but I also used it to get some quick insight in large datasets, without much effort from my side. Cons I only used the free-trial. Covid-19 has changed priorities. As such I implemented this in our business processes. From what I've seen there were no 'cons'. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. LB Luc B. Owner Mining & Metals ### "Advanced Analytics and DataStories" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 11, 2020 Very fast analysis of operational data. Pros With DataStories, evaluating your data quality (data health) & modeling are extremely fast. Unreliable data are easily detected and can be filtered out. The Datastories prediction model allows to model a blast furnace process and to identify the main process parameters for optimizing the process, beyond merely statistical correlations. The model is very versatile, ergonomical (easy to use) and gives deep insights into the process parameter dependencies. The results matched metallurgical balance models, literature and other AA models for given operating points, and easily allow simulations for different operating points without additional runs which would otherwise require time intensive calculations." Cons I have no negative remarks. Support is great, easy to use, Nothing negative. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

It offers good insights on the way to go in the near future. Pros Ease of use, what-if scenario's, driver selection. Cons Nothing, cloud version is very straightforward. You just need to have your data set in the right format. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Corporate Process Development Engineer Food Production ### "DataStories for a food manufacturing project" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 9, 2020 Pros \- Very intuitive and easy-to-use software. After a 1-day training, process engineers are able to use the tool. Users don't need in-depth data analytics or statistical knowledge for modelling or interpreting the results (e.g. no need to find out or select the best modelling algorithm for your specific problem). - Various visualization tools are embedded (time series, correlation graphs, what-if plots). These enhance the interpretation of results and make it easy to share the outcome of the modelling with others. They give a clear view on the potential for KPI improvement. - Possibility to extract the model to use it in another software. - Excellent support and high responsivity from the DataStories team throughout the whole workstream (data gathering, data preparation, feature definition & calculation, modelling, interpretation of the results). Cons \- The tool requires the import of one flat file (no data gathering and aggregation from different data sources in the software) - Some additional filtering/selection options might be useful (e.g. filtering on specific time frame or feature values, reuse of the same feature selection for building a new model). - For visualizing the raw data in the flat file, the tool includes some basic graphs but no extended visualizations.

Response from Vendor June 17, 2020 Thank you for your elaborate review! The new release of DataStories supports full reuse of feature selection for starting new stories, you can clone stories and add completely new files, e.g. testing for different time frames or batches. We will be happy to advise on very easy to use tools for data merging, preparation and filtering, and help connect them to DataStories. AH Antoine H. Process development engineer Food Production ### "Industrial process analytics" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 5, 2020 Pros Although the tool offers advanced analytics, it is really user friendly. There are some tips to guide you so that you have clues about the outcomes of the model or how to improve it. Cons The pre-processing of data has to be done outside the platform. Thus you have to upload the datasets every time you make a change.

Manager Management Consulting ### "DataStrories software and team" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 4, 2020 I have been working with DataStrories team for a long time in various roles in various companies. I can only say good words about working with the company - they have always been very responsive, ready to customize their solution, and delivered great results. Pros This is a very easy-to-use software that does not require specific knowledge, and, what is especially important, does not require special preparation of data before uploading. Answers about dependencies and trends are clear Cons There is nothing really to say here what comes to mind - i belive this is a very high-quality product Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

R&D Engineer Chemicals ### "Easy to use for non-scientists" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 4, 2020 Pros You don't need to have an analytical or mathematical background to use and understand the program which makes it much easier to find useful information through the chaos of big data by anyone in different disciplines. The user-friendly, interactive platform helps you to visualize main parameters and its impact on the KPI where even more complex algortithms are possible without knowing the background of the software / methods (unlike other datamining software). Cons When you receive a story, you don't get the "mathematics" behind the calculation model which is understandeable for the complexity of certain models (DataStories' complex algorithms), yet for the more straight forward models this could be sometimes useful to have.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. AJ Adeyemi J. Process Development Engineer Food Production ### "review" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 June 4, 2020 It's quite good Pros The ease flexibility with which parameters (drivers and KPI) can be selected or un-selected (where appropriate). The report is very handy. Cons Inability to create different scenarios without having to go back to the dashboard.
